Salt on the Roads


Salt on the Roads
One of the reasons our bridges are rapidly deteriorating is the use of salt on the roads. Any new infrastructure legislation needs to solve this problem first. I have two suggestions. Stop using salt to melt ice. Not only does it rust mild steel bridge trusses, it scales the surface of concrete and washes into nearby streams. One substitute might be fly ash from power plants or perhaps some newly created substance easier on the environment. Second idea is to insist that new bridges use a rust resistant steel such as Corten or stainless steel. More expensive, only in the short run. New concrete used needs to be sprayed with a coating resistant to salt, probably after construction. Another idea is to stay home on snow days and telecommute using your home computer or otherwise stay home. If you must travel then use vehicles equipped to do so in snow. We need to deal with salt on the roads before we spend billions on infrastructure only to have it rust away again in thirty years

Virginia Rackets

Virginia Rackets Last year, I was caught speeding in Lexington County Virginia doing 85mph in a 65 zone. Guilty as charged, except I was attempting to pass a truck doing 60 at the top of the hill and 80 at the bottom. I was pulled over and ticketed for reckless driving, a misdemeanor. The truck was not stopped. The following week when I arrived back home, my mailbox was filled with dozens of offers from Virginia attorneys guaranteeing they could get the charges dropped for a fee! Now hold on! A guarantee means only one thing. The attorneys and judges of Virginia are running a racket! I was facing a misdemeanor charge, and a lot of hassle, so I decided to pay the fee and so contribute to their unethical conspiracy. Okay, I’m grumpy about this. But a league between the Virginia judges and attorneys where traffic offenders van be guaranteed charges will be dropped for money is corruption and racketeering. What’s more, it has created an industry of hundreds of crooked attorneys and jud...

Legalization of Drugs

Legalization of Drugs If you are addicted to alcohol, then you are free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. If you are addicted to marijuana, then you should be free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. If you are addicted to heroin or cocaine, then you should be free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. I realize this is brutal, but so is our present situation where drug gangs are so rich from drug money that they can take over whole governments and force populations of people to flee their oppression. It seems to me that if this condition persists, our civilization will become unstable and incapable of coping with any other crisis such as rising sea levels and famine. It is a shame it has come to this, but everything else has been tried and has failed. Eventually, individuals who are ...

Russian Billionaires

Russian Billionaires Why don’t Russian billionaires spend their money on the needs of the Russian people, instead of laundering it into western banks? Surely there are poor people in Russia who could use a hand. An orphanage or a rural community on hard times. A bridge needed or a farm tractor somewhere. I’m not an authority on Russian poverty, but how many jets, yachts and houses does it take to satisfy these guys? Some of them can’t possible spend all that they have, ever. Putin, Deripaska, and others need to stop and consider how they can use their fortunes to help their country, not leave it behind. Help for the here and now. Okay you guys, you have a choice. Tyranny and greed verses kindness and charity. Was Stalin a good example in Russian history? Your time on this earth will also pass. How do you want to be remembered? https://www.amazon.com/Without-Warning-Rabb-Marcellus-ebook/dp/B00B8L2TH2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542196239&sr=8-3&keywords=rabb+marcellus
